Name:

SearchSettings

Filename:

SearchSettings.exe

Command:

%ProgramFiles%\YouTube Downloader Toolbar\SearchSettings.exe

Description:

SearchSettings is bundled with a variety of toolbars including MyBrowserBar, YouTube Downloader, and others. It is made by Spigot, Inc., is adware, potentially unwanted, and bundled with other applications.

File Location:

%ProgramFiles%\YouTube Downloader Toolbar\SearchSettings.exe

Startup Type:

This startup entry is started automatically from an entry in your Startup folder in the Start Menu.

%ProgramFiles% refers to the Program Files folder. The path to this folder is C:\Program Files\ or C:\Program Files (X86)\ depending on
whether the version of Windows or the program being installed is 32-bit or 64-bit.

It is assumed that users are familiar with the operating system they
are using and comfortable with making the suggested changes. BleepingComputer.com will not
be held responsible if changes you make cause a system failure.

This is NOT a list of tasks/processes taken from Task Manager or the Close Program window (CTRL+ALT+DEL) but a list of startup applications, although you will find some of them
listed via this method. Pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL identifies programs that
are currently running - not necessarily at startup.
Therefore, before ending a task/process via CTRL+ALT+DEL just because
it has an "X" recommendation, please check whether it's in MSCONFIG or
the registry first. An example would be "svchost.exe" - which doesn't
appear in either under normal conditions but does via CTRL+ALT+DEL. If
in doubt, don't do anything.
